To my knowledge, the system aarch64 is not supported.  The GHC bootstrap
is currently implemented for x86_64 and i686, only.

Moreover, the Haskell build system does not support cross-builds, again
to my knowledge.

There is no mean to compile git-annex for aarch64.  Therefore, it is
expected that it fails.

Cheers,
simon
